    Sweet and Savory Vegan Cheesy Garlic Twists INGREDIENTS:

    Below are notes about the ingredients before we get into the full recipe located lower in this post on how to make this easy vegan breadsticks:

    • puff pastry – Pepperidge Farm puff pastry is accidentally vegan and that’s what we are using here. Using the puff pastry is a super easy way to make breadsticks, especially for people that do not like working with dough
    • brown sugar – we wanted to make these sweet and savory so there’s just a touch of sugar
    • vegan butter – helps to add richness and moisture to the dough and overall enhance this dish
    • spices and seasonings – we’ve created a unique blend of ingredients that we think is perfect in make the falvor explode with each and every bite that you take
    • vegan cheddar cheese – the cheesy flavor added here just takes these over the top

    Substitutions and Variations:

    • puff pastry – you could swap out the puff pastry for one of our normal dough recipes and then use the seasonings to get the same flavor
    • brown sugar – maple syrup would be our first choice to sub, but coconut sugar, date sugar or even agave would work
    • vegan butter – we don’t recommend omitting or subbing the vegan butter in this recipe
    • spices and seasonings – the oregano, rosemary and parsley could be subbed for an Italian seasoning blend or you can get creative and switch up the spices as desired
    • vegan cheddar cheese – vegan mozzarella would also work in this recipe
